“But Anyway, Let’s (Not) Talk About England” The greatest service Steve Tandy could do for the future of Welsh rugby, as the tournament draws to a close, is to set a clear and confident marker: that Wales should play Italy expecting to win, a…

"At some point, the ambition has to match the history. Wales needs to think like a nation of winners again".

Nathaniel Hale, for Gwladrugby, reflects on an epic weekend of Six Nations rugby.

There are signs that the fundamentals are being put in place - decent set-piece, better defensive organisation, increasing physicality, an emerging attacking identity. And the players, as you say, are buying into it.

Early days, and still no win, but cause for a little optimism.

Knowsit.

Let's go optimistic here.

This team has heart.

It may not yet have all the component parts to be a reliable Test team.

But it has heart. And a growing belief in what it needs to do. It has inexperienced players of great skill who will strain every sinew.

Proud of these lads. The win will come.

Three years ago at most, right?

Funniest try ever.

Absolutely magnificent show and go by Rhys "All Court Game" Carre.

Druan a Joanna.

Poor Joanna.

She clearly had no idea what she was getting herself into.

Those bastards in the next village are the worst.

Plumtree is way ahead of you there, having picked up a tournament-ending injury last week.

0-6.

Eryri resident here.

This feels so, so, *so* correct.

But we'll take the win. Damply.

Also, nearly half of Britons think public services are a mess and somebody should do something about it.

Reminded of the time Ivo Graham turned up at the Machynlleth Comedy Festival with a work in progress show about Wales embracing the Green Party. He'd brought maps.

A minute in, an audience member pointed out that the green bits on his maps were Plaid Cymru Senedd members and things went a bit flat.

Please make a video about Ireland and then Italy.

Thanks.

'The WRU keeps repeating that governance has now been “professionalised”. To many inside the game, it increasingly looks like a system full of new titles and reshuffles rather than clear results'.

Pfft. Sky Sports commentators have just described a golfer who is younger than me as a "veteran".

A golfer! A veteran golfer!

It was only the match-winning try with 5 minutes to go. Nothing too important.

Yeah. Their bench had a much bigger positive impact than ours.

We're back, baby!

(For one week only)

That's certainly a word to describe that last 10 minutes.

Not one I'd choose, mind

Yep. Looks fine.

I mean, that penalty was awarded with 70 seconds left.

By the time Russell placed the kick, the clock had lost 20 seconds.

It's been a while since we could blame the ref for shepherding an opponent home.

So, there's that, I suppose.

Fagerson there.

Dear oh dear.

This is approximately 240,000,000% better than anything we've managed this season.

Scotland have been comically clumsy, though. I don't think we can expect them to be this hapless for another 40.

Oh gawd, what's he done?

(I'm watching S4C so am mercifully Jiffless).

I presume we shouldn't refer to Scotland's loosehead by name, and should agree to call him "The Scottish Prop", right?
